The new star processor from AMD is drawing attention due to the power and efficiency it’s demonstrating in its initial tests. This chip, the AMD Threadripper Pro 7995WX from the Threadripper Pro 7000WX series, has shattered all existing records to date, previously held by the Intel Xeon W9-3495X.
As a result, everything indicates that AMD is currently set to lead the rankings among its most powerful CPUs. In this constant battle in the chip segment against Intel, this will momentarily boost its reputation against a brand that, with decades of history, has always been trustworthy for users.
New performance heights in CPUs
Many years have passed since computer systems became part of the daily lives of millions of people, yet their evolution continues unabated. With increasingly optimized components, the implementation of multiple cores, and the constant technological advancements in the industry, the new AMD Threadripper Pro 7995WX stands as a new benchmark to surpass, for both future AMD and Intel CPUs, its main rival in this particular segment.
This AMD Threadripper Pro 7995WX boasts a standard performance of 2.5GHz and a peak performance of 5.1GHz, far surpassing the Intel Xeon W9-3495X, which has a base speed of 1.9GHz and a maximum of 4.8GHz—a notable achievement but one that falls short of what the impressive AMD CPU achieves.
CPU is not the same as GPU or NPU
Many times there are doubts about the functions carried out by CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs, the latter being more recent in the market compared to the previous chips. Well, a simple breakdown could be made: the CPU generally manages the system’s performance and must have enough capacity to support all kinds of programs and applications.
The GPU, on the other hand, specializes in graphical performance, being a fundamental component, especially for those involved in professional design or gaming. The NPU, however, incorporates a neural network that, through AI, streamlines various processes. Both the GPU and the NPU are important for a good PC, but the fundamental and irreplaceable piece is and will continue to be the CPU.
